Rick Lambert and eleven other men found a yellow car in an unlikely location.

"Well it was found by one of our close friends. He had found it out in a cornfield," Lambert said.

With some work, the bus was restored to its original condition, down to the true bus number and school district.

"We researched where it came from and all that to go back to all the school numbers," Lambert said.

The bus boys took their refurbished ride back to its original home -- Lenora, Kansas.

"It was (fun), watching people my age crawl in this bus and say, 'I remember going to school in this bus,' and the guy that used to drive the bus climbed up in," Lambert said.

Instead of school routes, the bus is now seeing the country.

"Some of the guys in our group have had it out on the power cruise. I think it's been out three different times," Lambert said. "Those are long-mile drives. It can get out and cruise with the best of them, so we take it out and drive it as much as we can."
